A copper alloy bridle bit, possibly dating to the late Iron Age to the Roman period (circa 100BC to 200AD). The object consists of two bars placed parallel with a central moulded collar which has been worn and thus less prominent. On each end of the bit, one bar has broken off and the other continues a short distance, curving slightly outwards before also ending in a break. The object has a green surface patina, with areas of pitting, and is overall smooth.  It is similar to WMID-8B23B3 and OXON-2C1494, suggesting this object is likely a bridle bit dating fro…

A fragment of cast copper alloy object, probably a terret, dating from the Middle Iron Age to Early Roman Periods (c. 250BC to 200 AD). The object consists only of a short section of metal, heavily worn and ending in breaks at both ends. This makes precise typological study and dating difficult. The object consists of a curved length of moulded copper alloy, with two sections separated by an expanded moulding. The shorter section, potentially representing the bar of the terret, is sub-rectangular in section, with surviving dimensions of 9.4mm thick, 6.2mm wide and 7.1mm long. It joins…
